The company, which launched in May 2012 with 13 team members in Southfield, Michigan, has grown its force six-fold in less than five months, and anticipates hiring approximately 20-25 team members per month.

“The Woodward technology zone is the perfect location for Rock Connections to flourish because its community of companies are working hard, together, to build their businesses and Detroit 2.0. We are eager to move into the vibrant downtown Detroit environment that is teeming with energy and enthusiasm,” said Victor You, president and CEO of the company.

Rock Connections is an affiliated company of Rock Ventures, the umbrella entity formed to provide operational coordination, guidance, and integration of Dan Gilbert’s portfolio of companies, investments and real estate.

Over the past 26 months, more than 60 companies have moved or started in one of the nine buildings Rock Ventures owns in downtown Detroit.

"We are pleased to add Rock Connections to the list of companies moving into downtown Detroit’s technology center near Campus Martius," said Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Rock Ventures and Quicken Loans. "Rock Connections brings another 115 team members excited about creating and collaborating in the city’s urban core."
